The PSEi ended in red this February, closing at 7705, down by 4.3% for the month. This comes after months of recovery starting October last year.

As you make important decisions about your money and what to invest in, it’s good to know which investments are good and which ones aren’t. Unfortunately, this isn’t always clear. You might end up confused about what to do. Confusing policies are everywhere. Along with this, some investment brokers act more like salesmen than teachers,… Read more

Hi Geri, I’ve read your #10Steps book. You discussed both these options but I just want to ask your honest personal opinion, which is the better option: peso-cost-averaging or one time investment, specifically for a waiting period of 10 years? Thanks a lot! -DS22 via #AskGeri email Hi DS22, Thank you for reading my book.… Read more

I got this email from Security Bank (PSE: SECB) promoting their SB US Equity Index Feeder Fund (this is not a paid promotion by the way, I wish!).

Good news. Last week, major banks launched their PERA UITFs, namely that of BPI and BDO. Wanted to let you know of the good news as soon as possible so we can all review, conduct due diligence and consider this investment.

I’m planning to invest in VUL. But still, I also want to invest in mutual funds simultaneously. Is it ok to do this simultaneously? Which has higher return? I’m trying to weigh how much to allocate for both given my limited budget.

What happened to TEL shows how Buy and Hold (Forever) can hurt Juan’s investments. Those who bought TEL in 2006, hoping to gain much from it, will be depressed to see that after 10 years, there wasn’t any capital appreciation. Wasted time. Wasted paper gains all those years. I hope not a lot of people did that. Though again, a small compensation is the dividends so in that sense, it is still a lot better off than time deposits (even if invested capital did not appreciate).

With this development, soon there will be UITFs that provide passive income via dividends, without the need for Juan to redeem his investment principal. So Juan can just hold on to his principal, enjoy the capital appreciation, while reaping the unit-payment income on the side.
